Her parents talked to WISN 12 News reporter Nick Bohr about the support they're getting from the community and the way they learned their daughter had been hurt.

"She was just, in my mind, I see her blonde hair flying behind her, going down the street, heading to summer school, and she just cruised on across the highway and got hit," Ashlyn's mother, Shannon Flegel said

Shannon Flegel has been keeping vigil at Children's Hospital since Ashlyn was hit Tuesday. She apparently rode through a stop sign.

"And I said, 'Well, they flighted her didn't they?' And the officer paused, and he said, 'Yeah they took her by Flight for Life,'" Shannon Flegel said.

Shannon Flegel learned about the crash because a feature on her cellphone plan -- Verizon FamilyBase -- sent her a text when her daughter's phone dialed 911. She later learned it was actually someone else on the scene using the phone. Ashlyn was too badly injured to make that call.

Now, her parents can only wait.

"Everybody has been so supportive. The community of Pewaukee has really rallied around Ashlyn and our family. It's unbelievable," Ashlyn's father, Tony Flegel, said.

"Thank you to everyone for your support, and, it's so hard, and it's so good to know that there are people out there that care. I don't even know who you are, and you care. And that means a lot," Shannon Flegel said.

Ashlyn wasn't wearing a helmet and has severe injuries to her head, numerous broken bones and internal injuries. They're waiting right now on test results to gauge if there is any brain activity.
